Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[jdcatty]

Shane Beamer may be the next one to get the gig but the question may be is Va Tech even a better job than South Carolina. Arguably it isn't.

I don't think VT is a better job.  I suppose some might disagree.

family history might be enough to get him to go but not a lot of coaches leave the sec voluntarily.

Upon further review

If wiki is to be believed Beamer is making over 8 per at SC right fuckin now...VT is paying their guy 4 per. I imagine they aren't going to pony up to that next level to pull away an SEC coach. If Beamer has a good season it's very possible they'll be options if any bigger time gigs open such as a Florida that's interested in not sucking...

I don't understand the national exposure VT gets. Michael Vick hasn't walked through that door in a many a year.

And I don't care what anyone says, their entrance (Enter Sandman) is as lame and overrated as their program.

ESPN built VaTech way before Vick.  I remember when it seemed like the early game on ESPN was always a VaTech game.  They were not in a conference and I guess they were cheap for ESPN to air.  They were always on.

I want to say a few of those Big East football programs ended up getting heavily pimped by ESPN back in the late 90s early 2000s. The Big 10 also had a lot of early early ESPN games back then too. 

I kinda remember waking up in the 90s and ESPN would very often air Va Tech in the early game...they were the Louisville (Petrino Part 1) of their time and once they got a bit big for their breaches ESPN started shifting over to others like Louisville who I believe may have played in the same league with Memphis and some others that would eventually go CUSA. I don't think Louisville was ever in CUSA but maybe they were. Might have been Great Midwest Conference or something like that.

Anyway during Vick and after ESPN pretty much started showing Va Tech in later time slots and I think by the "Enter Sandman" was some big shit. I can't remember if Drunkenmiller was before or after Vick but they had a decent run of QBs for a good while.

VA Tech and Rutgers were ESPN darlings of the Big East.
At least VT had great special teams and then Vick but that's about it.

They were looking for dc and new York eyeballs and influence.

I bet ESPN has bought a lot of bureaucrats at the fcc over the years.

Exactly what I was thinking.  Don't think I ever saw VT except on Thursdays for several years.

Those dang 4th quarters come at you so fast

[HogOfWar]

Those dang 4th quarters come at you so fast

The whole fucking second half was VT. The Bert express ran out of steam this game and the Misery game.

[PorkyPig]

That's the one one of our dumbass players stolt some shit, right?

[animal]

That's the one one of our dumbass players stolt some shit, right?

Yes

I think it was one of our TEs at the time. Can't remember his name off hand. 

and did Drew Morgan spit on somebody in the same game? I think maybe so.

Jeremy Sprinkle...wasn't it from somewhere like Belk?

Really having high aspirations there.

Dude had NFL potential if I remember right.

It was from Belk, when they were already on an outing spending gift cards given to them by the bowl. 

[buff2.0]

The Belk Bowl, sponsored by Belk, who gave them all gift cards for a shopping spree to get free stuff at Belk, and that retard got caught stealing shit anyway. 

Should have thrown him off the team on the spot and made him find his own ride home.
